SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It gives us unspeakable pain to announce, on the authority of papers and letters from the north of Eng land, that the situation of the poor weavers is little, if at all, amended ; and that no distinct prospect can I* alleged of any favourable change in their conditioo either front better wages for those Who are employed, or from a general demand for labour. Those of our readers who recollect our reasonings upon the subject, will acknowledge that we have assigned a sufficient Cause for the continued idleness of the poor English journeymen in. those circumstances which. have trans ferred to the continents of Europe and of America , considerable proportion of the cotton manufacture of this country; and we have yet heard of nothing in the domestic policy of Great Britain which should lead a sober-minded man to presume that the lost manufac ture is speedily about to be restored. A total repeal of the Corn Laws, and a large reduction in the price of bread, to be further effected by a straight-forward and 'Wholesale retrenchment of our corrupt expenditure —these are the ,Only human means whereby . the dis missed weavers of Lancashire can be recalled to their long- . suspended labours. With this conviction act in g irresistibly upon us, we would fain yield to. the same comfortable delusion, which so many others, humanely in Most instances, indulge, aml which, enables them to speculate quite at their ease about the revived acti vity of our manufactures. To those, however, who agree with us in sentiment, the present condition of the distressed weavers and theirfamilies, is only a mat ter of so much the more concern, because we do not see with clearness any path by which they can emerge from it. The misery of the case is this—that an im mense stimulus was for the course of more than 25 years given to marriages throughout the empire, by the demands of war, and of manufacturing industry, both of which furnished means of subsistence to the multitudes whom they called into being. So long as the title was at the full, every thing was buoyed up by it ; the population, in its almost preternatural increase raf laborious numbers, floated on the surface :of this deceitful stream ; but the day of reckoning could not be postponed for evers—the ebb followed, the waters receded,. and myriais of living creatures were deserted by the element which had hitherto sustained them. }or us, we make to truth a grievous and repugnant sacrifice, in stating that there appears to our judgment no remedy for the sufferings of the unemployed poor, but such as will not be adopted, until after an extre mity,of evil, beyond the, imagination of any man who draws only upon history for a standard by which to govern his imagination. The poor men who now toil for a wretched pittance, which - leaves the involuntary idler himself small room for envy of their happiness—these half-fed labourers, worn out with foil and privation, are pursuing in many places (and who can be sur prised ?) steps; which' they hope to render conducive, in some degree to their relief. They have held, very recently, a meeting at Bolton, to consider about the means of procuring redress far their alleged grievances, and have passed a number of resolutions, in two of which it is declared,: that;at the actual rate, to which wages have been reduced,--' in the first place, by persons of inferior character, eager for inordinate profits ; and in the next; by more respectable Manufacturers lower ing wages in self-defence to save themselves 'from being undersold by the former,---the journeymen can not, pay 'any more rents,: and are in absolute peril or starving, with their families, throughout the ensuing winter. The remedy they seek is an .equalization of wages . This, as a legal c ure, we think, for reasons stated, already can never !le. advantageous to the parties who petitioit for it ; but we is!ge satisfaction in stating, that not a seditious or reprehens;Ne word was uttered by any One. of the speakers.— nmes. . in uSliering into notiee the late Charge delivers by the Bishop of London to his Clergy, a writer in a Sunday Paper commences his remarks by describing the present time as , " a moment when the Constitu tion, in Church and State, is Ihreatened ors all sides by the Siniultaneinis exertions of Sectarists, Radicals, and Liberals." This ()illy reminds us of the boy in the fable, who: cried " Wolf" so long, that when the wolf really did come, nobody heeded hint. We do not say that there is any period when those who have the care, of our interests, both in Church and Statei should he off their guard, or lulled into a quiescent state of s e curity . ; but we are quite sure th at this is not a period which ~ calls for this byperbole of alarm, and that had the " nee Deus intersit" occurred to the classicabnind of this writer, he would have furnished a stronger proof of good sense and good taste. Of the Bishop of London's charge it is impossible to speak too highly. As a composition, it brings tei back to that period when our language Was divested of those pruriericies Sul deformities which some among the most popular of our present writers are but too apt to fall 'into t while the way which the subjects a re treated exhibit that sense, divernment, cahnness, and charify,,whieli ought to be, but wbich are ,not al ` wa ys,-the characteristics of a Christian Divine., But admitting for a moment what, to a certain degree at least, cannot be denied, that the Church has some formidable opponents to contend with, is the Bishop of Louth:in, or are his eulogists, quite sure that all, or even the 'principal of those dangers are to be appres betide& from without ? It is easy enough to talk of Sectarists, Radicals, and Liberals," and to go off at score through the whole gamut of imaginary danger ; but &the disease be in the house itself, the owner will not look abroad for the pestilence ; if the danger: be that of civil war, the cotintry need not look for protec tion against Cowie invasion. This we firmly believe to be the case. And we would ask the Bishop of London, for instance, with ti.A most unfeigned respect both for his piety and talents', whether the unseemly broils which have lately arisen, ; t ea h ave attracted so m uch observation and disgust is prie parish in Ida own di oc ese (St. °lave, Hart-street), are not calculated to do more real harm to religion, and to the Esta blished Church in partieular, than the joint ,ed:wp o f and . Liberals" c an e ir ec t Sevtarists, 'Radica ls, twice the period ? Whether this is a schism which the Bishop of London might riot have put au en d to, and whether.the of the parties does not u se liisi Lord, I ship's name as his support , arc matters we do not i . mean to discuss ; hut th is we are sure of , that w nl e such sce nes as have been here exhibited exist, it is „, alto aer being geter fain dan to talk of the Church's , those who' fear h so external. Again, we would ask much danger from • without, wit ether they think th e ' such as moral and religious state of the Universnws, _ . can be conducive to the c hurch of weir-being of fire En ? Disguise and gloss their deformities over- o bserva as they will, no man of common feeling and , wie tion eaillook at the real state of these e'sw m .s i ) 3 " 1 " 1 leltrialig' and religious education , " and not k no w that the, latter appellation beeomes in effect the most gross imposture which was ever attempted t 9 bey pilmea•upon the COMMOn: VIM of infUlkUld. Yet Nye are to he assailed forsooth`with the .cant of Alma Mater, and be taught to suppose that profligacy be- comes excusable, and sin hallowed in certain situa tions. This is one of the. species of libeadism from which the Church is in danger. To its many other dangers from within, space will, not now permit us to allude ; to some of them we have indeed, under the Jicad of Visitations, recently drawn the public atten 4ion. We are not insensible to the dangers from with out, nor, on the other hand, will we silently consent to see them magnified, as in the instance which has led to these observations. If there is any precept of religion more obvious and important than another, it is that which teaches us to look to " the mote in our own eye." Let those who have the charge of our spiritual concerns but keep this principle in mind, they may rest assured, that while reforming our in ternal defects, they will be furnishing the most effec tual security against external danger.--Morning Herald. We have a better opinion of human nature, than to believe that men are disposed to do mischief merely for mischief's sake ; or that, except in cases were self interest: may incline the. balance in favour:of them - - selves, they, take a pleasure in injustice. There are, it is true,, moral as well as physical monsters—men of so malevolent a disposition, that they are gratified by mischief, and delighted with injustice ; but exceptions do : not destroy, the rule. The Courier, hOwever, wOuld either seem to have a worse opinion of human nature, or a worse opinion of us than of mankind in general ; fir he very charitably attributes to us a dis position to incite the Landholders to plunder— " Aged men, who have advanced the savings of a life, devoted to honourable industry for the service of the Government—poor widows, whose husbands have in this way made some small pro :vision for their future comfort--and helpless orphans, who have only the dividends assigned for their maintenance between them and beggary." Nay, our ContemPorary would seem to think there is something so perversely wicked in us, that in order to be gratified with this wholesale robbery of the aged, the widow, and the orphan, we should not hesitate to lend our aid to a project for involving the - whole country in confusion ; and this metropolis, more par ticularly, in a state of distress, from which no man could promise himself an exemption. '! The real object of the article" (an article in The chronicle of yesterday), says our contemporary, " is pretty successfully dis guised ; which, however, we have no hesitation in saying, is to familiarize the public mind with the idea of breaking faith with the National Creditor, though censure of such a proceeding is breathed with all the sincerity of Mrs. candour, when that good lady reproves scandal ; and with all the earnestness of Mr. O'Con nell, while preaching loyalty, to inflame disaffection." Our yeprobation of all plans of confiscation, how ever disguised and however christened—as'equitable adjustments, or what not—is not new. When' a dis poSition was manifested during the period of agricul-; tural distress, to invade the public creditor, at several county meetings (and we may particularise Norfolk), we. - expressed our detestation of it in terms of which the sincerity was never questioned. What has happened in the interval to induce us to change our sentiments ? We ere not conscious of having ever had any particular taste for convulsions ; and though we do not think so ill of human nature as to attribute to them a disposi tion to do mischief gratnitously, we do nqt think so well of it as to wish to see ourselves at the mercy of a revolutionary mob. The ameliorations to which we look forward are those which must must ne- cessarily result from the diffusion of intelligence.— The Courier does us great injustice if he supposes us so Wood-thirsty as to wish to civilize him and other loyal men of his kidney, a la lauterne, or to head a party entering a breach in one of the King's eagles. We agree with our contemporary, that an attempt against the Funds would be very wicked on the part of the Country Ci'entlemen ; but we fear a number of them have taken it into their heads, that it would be for their interest to plunder the public cre ditor rather than the mechanic and the labourer; and our contemporary may remember the Poet's observation, that "When kalif the wavering balance It'a rarely right adjusted." It is praiseworthy, therefore, in our contemporary to' ex p t o.l so much of his wisdom on them, and to endeavour to show that an invasion of the national creditor would be Its fOP4SII as it is evidently wicked. This is all as it should be ; but why must his kindness towards the Gentry be mixed up with such cruel hn putations against ourselves ? In imputing to us wickedness without an object, we trust our contem porary has not arrived at that conclusion by looking inwardly; for though we can well believe he has sagacity enough to know on which side his bread is buttered, we are unwilling to thing him one of those who would be gratuitously wicked, and therefore judges others to be so from self-knowledge. The Courier says of us, that we have " pretty suc cessfully disguised the object" of our article, which object he will yet hardly contend could promote our interest. If he has, been informed that we hold large landed estates, and supposes that we may in consequence c onceive'onrselyes interested in robbing the fundholder, we are sorry to inform him, that he has been misin foraed. We cannot even conceive ourselves to have an interest. eeparate from the rest of the community on this point. We are too much in the habit of speaking our sentiments without disguise, for truth to be a " success , ful disguise "in our case. Our contemporary may be able to derive a success from truth as a disguise ; we must renounce the hope of that advantage. We will, in conclusion, give our contemporary a piece of advice —if he be so unfortunate as be)ieve an universal unshicerity, to avoid giving expression to the belief, lest it lead to a suspicion unfavourable to himself. Besides, if he wish well to a cause, it strikes. us that it is not the best way to advance it to say—every one who advocates it is insincere as myself. If James and John profess an abhorrence of any interference with the national creditor, do not believe them ; they mean the reverse of what they say—they, have successfully dis guised their objects This manner of a rising f tends to produce an impression .that them must rte some con cealed advantages, of which the person is .awore who can see AO well through the successful disguise.- Morning Ch . ronide.

He then asked where her uncle 'Was, and where he kept his money. She., assured him that she knew not where the money was kept, and said that her unele 'was in bed up stairs on the first floor. Just at this time•the watchman was heard going his rounds, and calling two o'clock, but until he was out of bearing, the villain stood holding the girl with one hand, while with the other he held the knife ready to despatch her if she made the slightest alarm. No sooner had thd watchman got out of hearing, than three distinct knocks were given with the hand, by some person- on the outside of the window-shutter of the parlour, in , front Of the house, but which in fact is the shop, and the villain inside, on hearing these knocks, left the girl alone in the, back-room, and went into the passage to the street-door, which he opened, no doubt to let in some accomplices. The moment the poor girl heard the Street-door opened she mustered all of nerve and life that belonged to her, and rushed from her room to the staircase in the passage, and getting up nearly a flight of stairs before the ruffian perceived her, she called out— " Uncle ! murder ! robbers !" as loud as her strength would permit of: the villain, still holding the knife in his hand, on hearing the girl's cries; turned back into the passage, and pursued her up the stairs, on the first land ing of which he overtook her, and inflicted two stabs upon her neck, and no doubt would have despatched her, had not Mr. Knott, at: that instant, been heard opening his room door, the . noise of which made the villain dart down the passage, leaving the street-door open, and all his col lected booty behind him : an instant alarm was given in the street, but the fellow effected g his escape. At day light, Pepper, an active constable belonging to Saint James's parish, who lives in the immediate neighbour hood, was sent for, and on examining the premises, dis covered that the burglar had come over , the roofs of three houses adjoining that of Mr. Knott, traces of his progress being observable, and from the.roof of Mr. Knott's house he effected an entrance by a trap-door, from which Mr. K. had formerly been in the practice of flying pigeons, and which trap had accidentally been left unfastened'. From this place the robber must have proceeded down the stairs, through the entire body of the house, passing the door of the very apartment in which Mr. Knott slept, until he came to the back-room of the ground-floor, where the girl was in bed; the door of this room he had evi dently tried to - open from the outside ; but it being bolted within, and probably afraid to use, much force, he could not succeed : he then proceeded down to the kitchen, where he found the knife and a ladder belonging to the place, which he reared against the window of the girl's room, from the yard into which it looked. In' opening this window he must have used remarkable caution, as the girl's bed was close up, against it : and to get into the room where she first perceived him; the fellow must ac tually have stepped across her in the bed without awaking her. Besides the property taken from the drawers in this room, he had collected a number of sheets and tabl&eloths, toge ther with a silver tea-pot, and several other articles of plate, from different other parts of the house, before the girl was disturbed, the whole of which, however, he was obliged to leave behind. There can be little doubt that he must have been previously acquainted with some of Mr. Knott's private affairs. The girl had several times a full view of his person by the light of his own lantern, but she could see no part of his features, except his lower jaw and his teeth, as he wore a black crape over his face, reaching down to his mouth. She describes him as slight made, dressed shabby genteel, wearing a black coat, &c., and having a remarkably white and soft hand. The girl, although she received three wounds on her neck, is not seriously injured. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIGN-HOUSE.—CHitivriest - EVIDENCE SOCIETY.-- Yesterday the Justice Room • and the avenues leading to it were crowded, in consequence of the interest excited by a complaint which Mr. Cope, the City Marshal,...had to make. against' some of the members of the Christian Evidence Society, which meet at Founders' Hill Chapel, in Lothbury, to discuss the subject matter of the New Testament. This Society has .been established by a Mr. Taylor, who cuts a very extraordinary figure in the streets of London, being seen constantly parading the most public places, with a reverend hat, and a glass suspended from his neck by a broad blue riband. lie has had meetings in various parts of the town, but the proprietors of the houses where the Society used to assemble bad very few trials of its respectability, before they made the most determined efforts to get rid of it altogether. At last Mr. Taylor got hold of the present spot for its meetings, to the great terror and annoyance of the inhabitants of Lothbury. The Lord Mayor has received a great many communications from his fellow citizens, complaining of the disgraceful conduct of those who attended the Society on the nights of meeting, and request ing his interference to put a stop to the proceedings. His Lord ' ship, however, for obvious reasons, refused to attend to this re quest ; but he directed that the Police would keep an eye upon the Society, in order to ' prevent breaches of the peace, to commit which come of the members were extremely well inclined. Two young men, named Freeman and Godwin, disciples of Mr. Taylor, who regularly daps a " Reverend" before his name, were now brought before his Lordship ; the first charged with having assaulted Mr. Cope in the execution of his duty, and the second with having endeavoured to rescue the assailant. Mr. Cops stated, that on the previous evening a great riot took place at the Chapel, and be attended for the purpose of restoring peace. The Rev. Mr. Taylor was speaking, and there Were several other persons at the same sort of employment. 'The greatest confusion imaginable arose, in consequence of what fell front the speakers, and there were upwards of a dozen at a time fighting about tl►e platform, where the principle speakers were as sembled., Witness immediately went amongst them, and said he was an officer; that such conduct could not be allowed, and that they must desist. He observed Freeman particularly active, took hold of him, and said he must come away. Freeman, however, instantly collared hint—a scuffle ensued, and witness fell under the seat, where he was repeatedly struck. He lust bis hat, and his clothes were almost torn from his back. About twenty people got round him the moment he took hold of Freeman, and Godwin was amongst those who rescued that person from his custody. By the assistance of an officer, however, the two were apprehended.— The scene was one' of very great violence. George Goodge, a city patrol, confirmed this account. He succeeded iu getting hold of Freeman after the rescue, and he held him fast. Cowton, the officer, stated that he was in the room whil4 the disturbance was going forward. He saw a sword drawn from a stick by a short man, with red hair, who had been speaking on the subject of the " Resurrection." He saw Mr. Cope in the midst of the disturbers, and upon running to his assistance, he found the man with the sword was gone. There seemed to be a great deal of activity in a person who was running up every now and then to the Chairman, who stood in the pulpit, with written communications. This person seemed to be doing all he could to secure the person who had the drawn sword in his hand. A Solicitor, the master of Godwin, told the Lord Mayor that he believed the identity of his clerk was doubted. Mr. Cope—Not in the least ; I have a perfect recollection 01 Freeman—My Lord, the facts is this—yesteday hevening I attended the Christian Hevidence Society ; and, my Lord, there were two sitting in the same box (pew) hissing as hard as they could. I told them if they were dissatisfied, they would have an opportunity of answering, but to be quiet. One of them was a gentleman what sent a letter to the . Heditor of The Republican against Ministers and Christianity, and he got up at this here Meeting to attack Mr. Taylor, which was the very worst _ _ of hypocrisy. I said , he was a most infernal ypocrite to attempt to defend what he had written against in The Republican for Mr. Carlile; and he said I deserved to be knocked over head. I did'nt like to be bullied, and I told hiM to do it--•so he drew his sword, saying that he had a sword to defend himself. There was then some scuffle. I did all I could to get the sword out of the hand of the person who drew it upon me, but I declare moot positively that I never struck the Marshal, nor any body else. The LORD MAYOII..-.4 suppose the arguments caused a great deal of clamour. Freeman—There WAS a great deal of approbation and disap probation. The LORD Ma' n—T suppose, Sir, that you ate a Deist? Freeman—l don't pretend to understand any thing , about the subject. Godwin--I went in to hear what was going on in company with my cousin, and I saw the man draw the sword ; I did not get into the row, for I said I'd indict him under Lord Ellen borough's Act—(a laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Aye, that was because you are a lawyer? Freeman—We acted only in our own defence. .The sword cane was brandished over our heeds. Mr. Cope—l had no chance with such a multitude. When they got me down, some of them were &knocking me about the head, while others were pulling me by the )egs. Godwin—We merely attended to see what MIA going on. We bad no idea of a row, until we heard the shrieks of the women, and saw the gentleman with the sword, who is an op ponent of Mr. Taylor ; be professes Christianity, and he carries a sword to show it. - The LORD MAYOR (to Godwin's master)—ls this the way in which you Complete the education of your clerk, by allowing hiM to go to placei of this description ? Solicitor—No; I deprecate meetings of the kind as most in famous, and I knew nothing of his going there. The LORD MAYOR (to the defendants)—Are you of the Committee ?—Freemen—No, my Lord ; 1 /wnly went in for the third time. lam certainly acquainted with. the Rev. Mr. Taylor. The LORD MAYOR,-.4 have bad repeated applications made to me to put a stop to the proceedings of this Society, upon the ground that they were always opposed to Christianity ; but I have always refused from the belief that contempt would bring all attempts of the kind to their proper level. .1 have no doubt of the insanity of Taylor, but madmen of his description will always find crack-brained followers. I only regret that the youth ful may be misled by such a description of persons. Chris tianity has nothing to fear, from such objects. It has tri umphed amidst the most desperate opposition, and under the ►oost disheartening circumstances, and can suffer nothing in the bands of such men as were now ranged at the bar---(A laugh.)— (To the defendants)---You must Lind bail, however, fur the as sault and rescue. The Sister to one of the defendants--Nobody, my Lord, cau say, that my brother was clamorous. fie applauded Mr. Tay lor, but the question was one that was as immaterial to him as to me. The LORD MAYon--Oh, then, you consider the question of no importance talon. Are there any of the Society here who would wish to say any thing ? John Henderson, a baker, of Deptford :--I was present, my Lord Mayor, when the uproar was a going forward ; and when Mr. Taylor exposed the argumentation of the individual, and censured the letter which the individual wrote to the Heditorof The Republican, he drew a fleaped up to get at the sword ; that was the cause of the disturbance, and we all did what we could to put au end to it. The Loan MAYOK—It never occured to you that this indi viduarwith the drawn sword was one of the Dramatis. Pereonte. Without opposition, the performance would hive been nothing. Oh, you are just what I expected you were—a sad set altogether.
